Ali Taylor is a PGA Professional based at Lytham Golf Academy, and coaches at St Anne’s Old Links.

He joined us down at the Shack to talk about how to flush your fairway woods.

The biggest thing you get wrong is not striking it properly due to poor ball position. Make sure you don’t have the ball too far back but also not too far forward.

If you have the ball too far forward you will end up topping it, something you really don’t want to be happening.
